From the article: "Researchers carbon-dated at least nine skulls with 11 drill holes found in a Pakistan graveyard."

La Brea woman had a bad dental abcess, which may have gotten her thrown into the LA tarpits some 9,000 years ago.

I'm guessing that the invention of the drill only briefly preceded the development of some sort of anesthesia.

They found a dentist's bill, dated 7000 B.C.

I wonder if they found a 9000 year old Highlights magazine in the waiting cave.

For those of you who accept carbon dating. For those who don't, relax, it's less than 6,000 years old. Go back to sleep.

The Highlights in today's waiting rooms are about that age.

What makes them think there was no anesthesia?

Ever heard of opium.

And I bet Dr. Urk, DDS, is still waiting for his claim to be processed by the dental insurance company.
